Should I use social media ads to promote affiliate links directly?

[Daniel]

Using social media ads to promote affiliate links directly can work, but it depends on how it's done. Some platforms don’t allow direct links, so you might need to send people to a landing page first. This can also give you more control over your message. Ads can be helpful if you target the right people and offer something that matches their interest. But if you only push a product without giving value or context, people might ignore the ad. It’s often better to warm up your audience before promoting a link. What kind of method would work best in your view?
